Why does everyone want the free agents? They suck, it's the expensive agents that will help a team.

Dwight did? Hahahaha. Glad that asshat has me blocked on twitter so I never see any of his stupidity. Fucking moron.

Yes. And he was not joking at all that he thought they should've trade Dame INSTEAD. Right in line with the Olshey/Woj leaks trying to cut Dame down at the knees after he was fired.
 
I think the real question here is who's gonna be Dame's new drinking buddy?
You can't drink like half a fish.

a 1st and 2 seconds. Haven't seen clarification on the 2nds yet. It's possible they have to wait to declare which 2 seconds, because of the wording on their 1st round pick. If it is 15-30, it goes to Mmephis, but if it is lottery, then Memphis gets 2 2nds.

has there been any declaration on what, if any, protections are on the future Pels pick to PDX if this year's pick is not conveyed?

Lol, we don’t have that much cap space.
We would have to renounce Hart.
Not resign Nurk.
Cap hold for ant.
Cap hold for 2 top 10 picks most likely.
Cap holds for roster spots.

Blazers could have 15M in cap-space if they renounced the rights to NAW, McLemore, & Elleby. That's assuming 2 roster charges. BUT, Portland would have to renounce that 21M TPE from the Pels trade and the 7M TPE from the Clippers trade

I think it's pretty clear at this point their best course of action would be to use their full MLE and hold those TPE's. In a lot of cases TPE's have more value than cap-space. Now it may be, if Portland is really serious about using the TPE's, they'd have to restrict themselves to the tax-MLE because they wouldn't want to be hard-capped. That will depend on what Simons and Nurkic re-sign for

Nice! Can you also use them to select guys that didn't play in college or overseas? Or is that a requirement?

I would like to hope so, I mean I keep putting my name out there to be drafted but I never get picked.

Cronin is just bad as Olshey. Should have hire James Jones

Olshey could construct a playoff roster. All Cronin is proving to show is that he knows how to build a cellar-dweller. Personally, I'd love to see what Olshey could've brought back in comparison.

If you give him most of the credit for being the reason we took Dame.
 
I can’t tell if Cronin is shit or if Neil just horribly overpaid for some of these guys….. or both.

I've got my reservations that Dame is someone you build around, due to his generally non-complimentary style of play. Considering we dumped pretty much the entire roster to focus on him, and how little we got for them, it's not so far-fetched to suggest that we'd of been better off keeping CJ and trading Dame.

I also feel there's probably something to the leaks around the time of Olshey's firing, simply because it ended up being a choice between Dame and everyone else. That sure hints at there being stuff going on behind the scenes.

He actually suggested that the Blazers should've traded Dame instead of CJ, so scratch that theory.

Consider the source and then repeat after me:

You're welcome.

Two seconds are New orleans 2025 and whichever is better of our own 2026 which had been traded a long time ago to NO or NO 2026 pick.

If we don’t pick up Simmons or Grant or Randle this week…I maintain it will be a looooong Summer with Dame traded.
 
For people who were confused about the pick protections for the Lakers first round pick we got from New Orleans. Eliminating the Lakers in the play-in would be a dramatic way to get the pick in the 2022 draft.

This is not a teardown. I think there will be a move for a really good player right before the draft. I think they will keep Hart unless they get a really good offer in the next two days.
